    Things that really piss you off when driving.

    That's good advice for most situations, but it's a bit impractical at Costco.  If I park so that I can pull forward out of the parking space, it's awkward to to transfer a boatload of Costco stuff from my shopping cart into the hatchback of my vehicle.  There's often not enough room to pull the shopping cart between parked cars.

    This is true.  It may require a little longer walk from your car to Costco.

    1. Not getting into the intersection while waiting to take a left turn
    2. Guys on crotch rockets doing 120 weaving through traffic on the highway.
    3. Blowing through red lights.  Happening more and more each day.  I always wait a couple of seconds extra if I am first in line when the light goes green.
    4. People texting or talking without hands free.  
    5. Getting behind somebody who is obviously smoking MJ.

    2.  When I'm slowly backing out of a parking space in a crowded parking lot, because it's difficult to see what's coming, and some fool comes around the corner after I'm already backing up, sees me already part way out of the parking spot moving backwards, and speeds up to pass behind me (if he didn't speed up he'd hit me).  This is a regular occurrence at my local Costco.  I'm open to suggestions about non-lethal ways to deal with this situation.  I got nothin'.

    I worked at the utility company in my town.  Most accidents were backing accidents.  We had a rule that if you had an opportunity to park in a manner that will allow you never to back while parking and pull forward when leaving - you did it.  I never have that problem anymore.  We call it "first-move-forward".

    Collections and collectibles....

    I collect lacrosse sticks from the 60's-80's.  I have a collection of about 50 and have restored/re-strung 95% of them.  Some of the rarer plastic sticks can bring several hundred dollars if in good condition.  Like any item, as the players that used these sticks in the 60's, 70's, and 80's get older/too old and die, I think the value may drop as time goes by.  I seem to be seeing that trend in hot rodding and antique boats and motors.  What are you seeing?

    If you don't see Americans Democrats and Republicans hurting financially due to Demented Biden's fiscal decisions, put your head back in the sand and you'll see it in November once you clear the sand out of your eyes.  What a Mess.

    Why alienate?  It's not as if they NEED our help.  It's like the dream team playing against Japan in basketball and being upset you didn't do more for the dream team.  They're gonna be fine bud. 

    So, you agree.  They ignored Biden.  That is indicative of Demented Biden's weakness.  Surely you can admit that.  What a mess.
